Wen Rui waited for Wen Guoqing to go away and turned back to the store. He told the store manager that he would report to school tomorrow and couldn't come.

The store manager was a little bit sorry, but he didn't stop him anymore, and handed him another two hundred and fifty, counting his wages for the past three days.

Wen Rui felt sorry and only charged her two hundred.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"Come here often when you have time. If you still want to work part-time, I welcome it. After all, he is handsome and attracts little girls." The store manager teased him with a smile.

Wen Rui just smiled and said nothing, he didn't know when he would come back.

It was already 08:30 when he got home, his mother and his brother had already finished their meal, and the living room was empty, so he quietly went back to the room and took out the 5000 yuan he had hidden.

He knocked on Liu Manqin's bedroom door.

"Who?"

"Mom, my salary has been paid."

After a while, Liu Manqin came out of the room. She frowned and looked at the wad of money in Wen Rui's hand and said, "Hide it tight, don't lose it. If you lose it, I won't pay your tuition."

In fact, she was not willing to let Wen Rui study at first, but Wen Rui did very well in the school, and he said he would not let her pay, so she reluctantly agreed.

"By the way, how much is your tuition?"

"Five thousand and two, plus six hundred for the accommodation fee, a total of five thousand and eight."

"It's still eight hundred? Why is it still so far away? Do I have to pay it to you?" Liu Manqin rolled her eyes, "You said you wouldn't let me pay for it. Why are you looking for me now?"

Wen Rui was silent for a while and said: "No, I just came to tell you that the salary has been paid, and I will report to the school tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up, it's disgusting to look at him with a dead face every day!" Liu Manqin muttered, looking at Wen Rui like garbage.

Wen Rui didn't argue with her either, the more than 5000 was enough for him to live for a while, and he would look for a job when he settled down there.

"Then I'm going to pack my things."

"Well," Liu Manqin snorted, "be gentle." After speaking, she closed the door.

Wen Rui reheated the food and packed up after eating.

He had to bring a lot of things, but fortunately he didn't have much clothes, two sets for spring and autumn and two sets for winter, and a backpack couldn't be filled, so he stuffed clean towels and a few hangers into it.

He packed everything he could use and needed to clean up, not even forgetting the buckets and basins, he was afraid that his mother would be suspicious if he didn't bring them, so he could only pack things according to the standards for going to school.

When he was tidying up the table, he suddenly noticed the notice he had put in the book, he froze for a moment and stretched out his hand to pull out the notice.

He lived a fulfilling life in the four years of college. Although he was busy with his livelihood like a spinning top every day, he felt that a new life was just around the corner.

He likes being a teacher.He went to a local college and majored in mathematics. After graduate school, he successfully became a math teacher in a high school in the city.

But then it was all ruined. Wen Guoqing, who had been peaceful for several years, became addicted to gambling during his work, and the old man gambled like crazy.

That old rascal, since he got addicted to gambling, really tried everything to get money from him.

Wen Guoqing even hired four or five ruffians to rob him of his money.

He couldn't beat that group of people, and he couldn't find any traces of those people when he called the police. After talking to the school, the school asked other teachers, and nothing like this happened. No one dared to touch the teacher.

He gradually realized that something was wrong, those people seemed to catch him and rob him alone, and after careful thought, he knew who the instigator was.

Wen Rui was really going crazy at that time, he really didn't expect that man to be able to do this.

He communicated with Wen Guoqing, and even warned him that ordering someone to rob was enough for him to spend many years in prison.

Wen Guoqing hugged his thigh, crying that there was nothing he could do.

Wen Rui felt disgusted seeing him like this, but he couldn't find any evidence. He reported to the police, but those local hooligans roamed the streets and alleys, slipping like loaches, and there was no way to catch them and collect evidence.

However, Wen Guoqing had been honest for a while, but Wen Rui found out that he had been stolen, and the person who slipped the door and picked the lock was an acquaintance.

Wen Guoqing didn't dare to take too much money every time, and it was useless for him to call the police because of the minimum prosecution standard.

Wen Guoqing gambled bigger and bigger, and even borrowed usurious loans, and those debt collectors came to him every day to trouble him.

When he met someone who was talkative and reasonable, those people would not embarrass him, but when he met someone who was unreasonable, they insisted that he and Wen Guoqing were in a gang to scam money.

Wen Rui had had enough, he thought about leaving here when the contract expired.He has been working for more than two years, and he has repaid his mother more than [-] in total over the past two years. He can pay back the money before the contract expires.

But now everything has changed.

Wen Rui put the notice in the side pocket of his backpack. He stayed up late preparing for the lesson the night before his sudden death, afraid that something would go wrong the next day, but unfortunately, he will never have the chance to teach that lesson again... just don't know Will he have a chance to stand on the podium again in his life.

-

It was just dawn, and Wen Rui stared at the glimmer of light leaking out from under the curtains, feeling like still water.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound outside the door, and Wen Rui turned over and got up immediately.

He neatly folded a large pile of mattresses, quilts and sheets and packed them into a snakeskin bag.

After washing up, he left the bedroom with his luggage on his back.

Wang Jianjun was still eating breakfast, he was taken aback when he came out, and said, "Why so early? Are you going to report at school?"

"Well, I'll go and have a look first." Wen Rui looked calm. He seldom lied before, but he has been a complete liar all his life, but what can he do?

Wang Kun hardly eats breakfast during the summer vacation.Liu Manqin came out of the kitchen with the freshly fried fried dough sticks and only looked up at him. She asked coldly, "You don't want breakfast?"

"I'm not hungry." He didn't want to stay for a moment.

Wang Jianjun rarely cared about him: "Have you brought everything?"

"Yeah." Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Wen Rui took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, Mom, then I'm leaving."

Liu Manqin was serving porridge for Wang Jianjun, without raising her head, she responded casually, "Go."

Wen Rui left without looking back. He closed the door behind his back, isolating him from the original world. He left all his past behind and walked away step by step.

The direction of the university is the same as that of the train station, except that the train station is at the terminal.When passing by his university, he didn't look up, those have nothing to do with him...

After getting off the bus, he shook his shoulders with some difficulty to prevent the shoulder straps from slipping down. He was still carrying a backpack on his chest, and was carrying a paper bag and bucket in his hand, which made it very inconvenient to move.

He looked at the crowd in a daze. This was the first time he came to the train station. It turned out that even if he went out for training, he took the bus, but this time he didn't bring much money with him, so save as much as you can.

Wen Rui walked with the crowd for a while before seeing the sign, and he followed the sign to find the ticket office.

The school term is approaching, and there are many students going to college, and the entire ticket office is full of people.

Wen Rui was very anxious looking at the long line, he was always afraid that the longer he stayed, he would not be able to leave.

After waiting for nearly four or ten minutes, it was finally his turn.

The air was very hot, and Wen Rui's face turned red. He smiled and said to the service staff, "Go to Huaicheng, ask for the nearest ticket."

"Hello, the fastest bus is at [-]:[-]. There are no sleeper berths, only hard seats. Do you want more?"

"want."

After buying the train ticket, Wen Rui was in no hurry to go to the waiting hall. He went to a nearby sales point to buy a few bottles of purified water and a few boxes of instant noodles. He had to sit for eighteen hours from north to south, and he had to eat something on the way.

Waiting for the bus, checking tickets, and getting on the bus are obviously very boring things, but Wen Rui finds them extremely interesting, and he can't hide the smile on his face.

The moment he boarded the train, Wen Rui knew he was free.

-

The back of the hard seat was too high, and Wen Rui's neck was uncomfortable from sleeping. Moreover, he was worried about his luggage, so he didn't sleep much at all along the way.

When he sat down in Huaicheng, it was only past three o'clock in the morning, he was dizzy, and his fair face looked extremely haggard.

As soon as he got out of the station, a group of aunts and uncles flocked to him, scaring him soberly.

"Young man just got off the car and you are tired, come to my place to have a rest."

"Go to my place, my place is cheap and clean."

"Go to my place, go to my place, the child is hungry at first sight. How about I cook something for you?"

……

The group of people chattered so loudly that Wen Rui's head was about to explode. He broke away from the crowd while protecting his bag.

He smiled apologetically: "Is there a cheaper one?" He really needs a good rest now.

"My, mine!" An aunt jumped out, "It costs eight yuan an hour at my place."

Wen Rui finally left with the aunt.

Auntie's hotel is right next to the train station, a very narrow storefront, without a sign, only a red light box.

As soon as you enter, there are narrow stairs, and the aunt walks in front with a flashlight.

The aunt was very enthusiastic: "Young man, watch carefully, and pay attention to your feet, don't fall, this concrete floor hurts."

"Well, thank you."

"What do you guys come here for?" Huaicheng is a small southern city, and the aunt's Mandarin not only has a strong accent, but is also mixed with Su Nong's soft language. Wen Rui has to listen carefully to understand her meaning.

"Come to work."

The aunt was taken aback: "Come here to work? What money can we earn when we are so poor here? Everyone here is running outside, young man, don't be deceived by others."

Wen Rui smiled: "No."

After climbing two floors, the aunt led him through a long corridor, with dim lights, worn red carpets, peeling walls, everything was damp and damp.

The aunt led him to the small room at the end of the corridor to register, and then pointed him to a room, and it was only two steps forward.

Wen Rui opened the door and went in. There was only a lonely bed and a dilapidated table in the square inch.The bed sheets are aunt's own floral quilts, the color is very festive, but people can't tell whether the sheets are clean or not.

A tea tray was placed on the table, and three or four cups were symbolically placed on it, but there was still some tea stains on the bottom of the cups.

He put his luggage on the table and wanted to take a shower, but there was only a sink and a urinal in the bathroom, and the urinal was so yellow that it made Wen Rui feel nauseous.

He rushed out of the bathroom and sighed, the price of left and right is not expensive, he will just sleep, he still has to look for a house during the day.

After setting the alarm with his mobile phone, he put it and his wallet under the pillow, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

However, Wen Rui woke up before the alarm went off. He woke up from hunger, with bursts of sour water in his stomach.He didn't eat instant noodles at all during the journey. There were a lot of people in the carriage, the air was thin and the smell was unpleasant, so he couldn't eat instant noodles at all.

He endured the nausea and went to the bathroom to remove a disposable toothpaste and toothbrush. After a hasty wash, he went to the aunt with his mobile phone and wallet to ask for some hot water, and made himself a bucket of instant noodles.

He was not in a hurry to leave after dinner, he had booked for six hours, and it was still early.

He didn't know the local situation, and after talking with his aunt for a long time, he asked where nearby houses were cheap.

"Which bus do I take to get there?"

The aunt curled her lips: "What bus do you take? We have tricycles here, and there are a lot of people going out, but don't be tricked by others. It costs five yuan to take a tricycle to Xiaoshi Lane. You can bargain a little bit."

Wen Rui thanked the aunt, didn't stay any longer, went back to the room, packed her luggage, checked out and left.
